CSKA Sofia 2-3 Roma: Victory ultimately secures top spot


A 3-2 away win over CSKA Sofia was enough for Roma to secure top spot in Group C of the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.

With Bodo/Glimt drawing against Zorya Luhansk elsewhere, Jose Mourinho's side snuck on top of the standings at the death - earning them passage straight into the last-16 of the competition in 2022.

Tammy Abraham (2) and Borja Mayoral scored the decisive goals in Bulgaria, with the hosts striking twice in the second half to set up a somewhat dramatic last few minutes.

Nevertheless, the Giallorossi held on to ultimately ensure their group stage campaign finished the way many initially would have expected it to.

Roma are back in action on Monday - they host Spezia in Serie A action.
